(13,283 posts)Seventy-two percent of respondents said they believed the Hamas decision to launch the cross-border rampage in southern Israel was "correct" given its outcome so far, while 22% said it was "incorrect".
Fifty-two percent of Gazans and 85% of West Bank respondents - or 72% of Palestinian respondents overall - voiced satisfaction with the role of Hamas in the war.
Two thirds think Hamas decision to launch the October 7 attack was correct
91% think Hamas did not commit atrocities on October 7
61% say they prefer to have Hamas in control of the Gaza Strip after the war
Ok, let's note that support for this attack does not necessarily mean support for Hamas and does not mean support for any killings or atrocities committed against civilians. How does this change the reported survey results? Let's see: 72% still support the Hamas attack on Israel, 72% still voiced satisfaction with the role of Hamas in the war, 66% still think Hamas' decision to launch the attack was correct, 91% still don't think Hamas committed atrocities, 61% still prefer Hamas rule over Gaza.
So let's also note that, regardless of the previous note, they still overwhelmingly support Hamas. But not necessarily because Hamas committed any killings or atrocities. Even though 91% don't think Hamas committed any.
...Did you have a point to make about Palestinians not supporting Hamas? Somehow, it doesn't come across at all. What does the Israeli narrative have to do with this survey? And how will this survey soften some hearts towards Palestinians?
I can't roll my eyes fast enough...
